We actually did divide the room up - move dressers to the middle or put masking tape on the floor to indicate which space was whose - but it never lasted more than a day. They&#39;ll definitely treasure this shared room time; I think it&#39;s a great thing.Ethnic Bedspreadshttp://hubpages.com/hub/Buy-Ethnic-Eastern-Style-Bedspreads-Onlinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-680672602327623182010-02-28T11:24:39.131-08:002010-02-28T11:24:39.131-08:00I, too, grew up in an area where kids had their ow...I, too, grew up in an area where kids had their own rooms, and the rare kids who had to share were always a &#39;curiosity&#39; to the rest of us.

As someone who has always needed solitude more than I desire the company of others, I hated every second of it. I suspect I might have had more tolerance for my sister if I hadn&#39;t been forced to be basically on top of her every second for nearly 6 years.<br /><br />That said, however, I suspect I am something of an exception, and if your kids are happy to be so close all the time, then that is a beautiful thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-91164580344930006372010-02-18T10:26:35.077-08:002010-02-18T10:26:35.077-08:00i&#39;m pregnant with my second and our kids are g...i&#39;m pregnant with my second and our kids are going to have to share a room. it&#39;s been so frightening to me, and i&#39;m always a little embarassed when people ask about it, but after reading this i feel better. really better. lighter. hopeful. thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-20895097170124010412010-02-16T20:55:47.496-08:002010-02-16T20:55:47.496-08:00I love this post.

I shared a room with my younger brother until I was 12 and he was 10 and even though I love my brother, I distinctly did not love sharing a room with him. <br /><br />I have always needed my personal space and up until I was 12, I had to lock myself in the toilet to have two minutes to myself. The room we shared was quite small, so most of the space was taken up by our two beds and two wardrobes. Our desks and toys were downstairs in a common space. I fantasized about getting my own room for years.<br /><br />I don&#39;t think it bothered me when we were both relatively small but (when financially possible) I don&#39;t think I would make my children share until such an advanced age.Esthernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-45655943264024487162010-02-16T02:37:28.107-08:002010-02-16T02:37:28.107-08:00Like you, I was raised never having shared a room ...Like you, I was raised never having shared a room with my younger sister or brother, and I really felt guilty that my two sons will have to share. We have a very large flat for Poland, but the extra room is used as our office, so there is no extra beroom for our second-born.<br /><br />The boys don&#39;t share a room yet - as Alex still wakes up in the night and we don&#39;t want him disturbing Max- but as soon as he sleeps through to 6:00, they&#39;ll be together. I&#39;ve been dreading it, but after reading this, I think it will be really lovely... your story was beautiful.<br /><br />Thanks for helping me to alter my perspective.WarsawMommyhttp://www.warsawmommy.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-48413111275137857812010-02-15T06:57:26.296-08:002010-02-15T06:57:26.296-08:00i loved this post and loved the story of building ...i loved this post and loved the story of building the wall it really made me smile.me1980http://www.blogger.com/profile/06809718435121114773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-80612542054913978332010-02-14T15:57:58.899-08:002010-02-14T15:57:58.899-08:00At one point in my life my parents had to move fro...At one point in my life my parents had to move from a 3 bedroom house to a 2 bedroom apartment, this meaning that my older brother and I had to share a room. We were both young, and missed the bothersome side of it, that looking back on, my parents were really anxious about. We LOVED sharing a room (ok, yes at times I stepped on his legos and he kicked my dolls), but we became best friends during that time. He is my best friend to this day, and I have no doubt that those days sharing a room left lasting impressions on us even as children.Rebekahhttp://www.pebblesofjoy.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-13335908339944916042010-02-14T14:55:25.489-08:002010-02-14T14:55:25.489-08:00Im such a cry baby!

They each have a room now, but I think that sharing a room would be good for them. But right now I think they would keep each other up talking!

Well, we do with what we have, all of us. <br /><br />But mostly I wanted to say how much I love the ballerina painting in Fable&#39;s room. Gorgeous! is that a Woolf signature I see in the corner, as well?

I still remember the room being divided by duct tape: he didn&#39;t have access to the closet, and I had to jump to reach the door.<br /><br />For now, we have the space for both our daughter and forthcoming son can have their own rooms. I, however, also recently lost my job, so we&#39;ll just have to wait and see.<br /><br />Also, that is a fantastic looking room.

The other day my 5 year old slept at my moms, and my 4 year old started bawling at bedtime wondering how he was going to sleep alone (he didn&#39;t, he slept with me).<br /><br />I also have twin girls who just turned 6 months. I moved them to seperate cribs in the same room a few days ago. I would have kept them sleeping side by side, but Thea-Simone was scratching her sister.<br /><br />With four kids, I don&#39;t invision anyone getting their own room, but I hope they appreciate their siblings more than the extra space they may have had without them.<br /><br />Peace~<br />Karen<br /><br />PS I know Archer&#39;s name was inspired by the Prophet, which I see on the bookshelf, Kahlil was on my short list of boys names.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-85068051553952915922010-02-12T16:14:20.482-08:002010-02-12T16:14:20.482-08:00Love thier room.
